Bonnie Raitt - I Can't Make You Love Me Lyrics

Bonnie Raitt Lyrics

"I Can't Make You Love Me"
(originally by Bonnie Raitt)

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't

I'll close my eyes
So I don't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til then
To give up this fight

'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't

I can't make you love
I can't make you love
I can't make you love
I can't make you love
I can't make you love
I can't make you love
